Unceasing Worship
Biblical Perspectives on Worship and the Arts
We are not created to worship. Nor are
we created for worship. We are created
worshiping.
Too often Christians have only thought
of worship in terms of particular
musical styles or liturgical formats.
But a proper view of worship is far
larger than what takes place in
churches on Sunday mornings. Worship is
not limited to specific times, places
or activities.
God is by his very nature continuously
outpouring himself. Because we are
created in his image, we too are
continually pouring ourselves in
various directions, whether toward God
or toward false gods. All of us,
Christian or not, are always
worshiping, whether or not that worship
is directed toward God. We are
unceasing worshipers.
The fruition of a lifetime of study,
reflection and experience, this volume
sets forth Harold M. Best's
understanding of worship and the arts.
Widely respected as one of the foremost
thinkers and practitioners in his
field, Best explores the full scope of
worship as continuous outpouring in all
settings and contexts. With careful
exposition and eloquent analysis, Best
casts a holistic vision for worship
that transcends narrow discussions of
musical style or congregational
preference. On this broader canvas,
Best addresses popular
misunderstandings about the use of
music and offers correctives toward a
more biblically consistent practice of
artistic action.
Incisive, biblical, profound and
comprehensive, Best's landmark volume
is one by which all other statements on
worship and the arts will be measured.
